Sri Parthasarathi thunai
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha

Pranams,
According to what adiyen has heard, after the kalapam
when SriRanganatha returned to SriRangam the locals
have already established another Ranganatha Vigraha
and claimed him to be the original. At that time they
searched for a person who lived before the kalapam who
could identify Ranganatha and that they found only a
dhobi who was very old and even blind due to age. He
used to wash the clothes of SriRanganatha and he said
that he could find out perumal just with the smell of
his vastram and when perumal's vastram was got to him
he smelled and said "NamPerumal Evare" and after which
Azhagiya Manavalan was called Namperumal. If Swamy
Desika was alive during that time there could have
been no one better than him to identify Namperumal. 
So by this time he should have attained Paramapadam.
Only after this the rituals in the temple was
organised as before and that was a major work done by
Sri Manavala Mamunigal.
This is what adiyen has heard from scholars if there
are errors i beg the pardon of learned scholars of the
group.

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasyai
Sumithra Varadarajan.
